Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu:
I am writing to you for the first time. First let me say I love Israel. I went to school in the mid-70s in Israel and yes I even learned how to use a gun and put one together in the dark. This is all in the way of saying although born in Canada, Israel is also home for me. My expertise is in Negotiations and Mediation.
I am respectfully writing due to my concern of how the Bedouins are currently being treated in the Negev. It makes no sense what so ever to use forces to make this happen. Does it need to occur, of course, but process is key. For if this is done with a heavy hand it shall result in radicalizing a generations of Bedouins against us. History teaches this to us, if you look at how wrongfully aboriginals peoples were treated in the US, Canada , Australia and South Africa. Thus, this must be a negotiated process between all parties involved. Perhaps with a jointly selected mediator to assist the parties. Will this take longer ? Of course, but the process will save many lives from future violence and allow for more successful integration of Bedouins into Israeli society.
Thanks, Best Wishes Professor Alan Levy
